  • Abstract
    A scheme for providing power electronically for large d-c contact testing has been devised. This power source provides characteristics which are quite acceptable for testing up to 10,000 amperes at 250 volts; it is less expensive than rotating equipment, has a voltage range from 250 to 750 volts, and takes less space than rotating equipment.
